William Eddins is a husband, father, Taoist, musician, writer, and entrepreneur living and working in the great city of Minneapolis.
He is the Music Director Emeritus of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and a frequent guest conductor of major orchestras throughout the world.
Engagements have included the New York Philharmonic, St. Louis Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, the symphony orchestras of San Francisco, Boston, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Detroit, Dallas, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Houston, as well as the Los Angeles and Buffalo Philharmonics.
Mr. Eddins is also the co-founder of MetroNOME Brewery LLC, a socially missioned bewery in lowertown Saint Paul. Proceeds from MetroNOME go to providing musical instruments, lessons, and education for underprivileged youth in the Twin Cities Metro area. He strongly believes that education in general, and music education in particular, is the gateway to a better, more fulfilling life, and he wants to ensure that any child who loves music can find a way to play.
A native of Buffalo, NY, Mr. Eddins attended the Eastman School of Music, where he played with the legendary wind ensemble and studied with David Effron, graduating at age eighteen. He also studied conducting with Daniel Lewis at the University of Southern California and was a founding member of the New World Symphony in Miami, FL.
This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
